Features :

One of the most important features of HMX technology is that it is more durable than other sealing technologies. HMX contains no hazardous substances.

• Tin-free
• Phthalate-free
• Solvent-free
• Isocyanate-free

In addition, HMX has the EMICODE EC1 PLUS label (which means that HMX offers the best possible solution for optimal indoor air quality) and the BASTA label.

Application :

• All common construction joints.
• Expansion joints between the most diverse building materials.
• Connection and expansion joints in the construction sector: jointing of prefabricated elements, perimeter joints around door and window frames, etc.
• Connection and expansion joints to be covered between the window profiles and the wall.

Benefits :

• Strong adhesion to virtually all surfaces.
• Very malleable.
• Odorless.
• UV resistant.
• Low indentation factor.
• Very good resistance to aging.
• Excellent resistance to humidity.
• Permanent elasticity after polymerization.
• Recoverable.
• No staining (edge zone pollution) on porous surfaces such as marble, granite and other natural stones.
• Very low emission content EC-1 PLUS.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is HMX Façade Pro sealant compatible with all materials?
   Yes, it adheres without primer to most materials, stone, concrete, wood, aluminum, PVC, steel, brick, etc. For very specific surfaces, a preliminary test is recommended.
2. Can the sealant be painted after application?
   Yes, the product is paintable once cured. Water-based paints are generally compatible. A compatibility test is recommended.
3. Is it suitable for joints that are highly exposed to the elements?
   Absolutely, its HMX technology gives it exceptional resistance to UV, water, frost and heat, ideal for exterior facades.
4. Can sealant be used indoors?
   Yes, it contains no solvents or isocyanates, making it safe for indoor and outdoor applications.
5. What is the drying time?
   It forms a skin in about 15 minutes and hardens completely in 24 to 48 hours, depending on the humidity and thickness of the joint.
6. Can it be used for joints subject to movement?
   Yes, that's actually one of its main uses. Thanks to its high elasticity, it perfectly absorbs expansion movements.
7. Is the HMX Façade Pro resistant to aging?
   Yes, it has exceptional longevity, even in extreme conditions, thanks to its resistance to UV rays and climatic variations.
8. Can it be used as a replacement for silicone sealant?
   Yes, in many cases. It offers comparable adhesion and durability, while also being paintable, which is a significant advantage on facades.
9. At what temperature can it be applied? Between +5°C and +35°C, but once polymerized, it withstands temperatures from -40°C to +90°C.
